About
I work closely with each client focusing on special details that will customize their event. This not only makes it different from past clients events I have worked with and also can make their event stand out from other events they may have attended or hosted in the past. I enjoy working with clients and feel like I essentially become a part of their family in some ways often fostering relationships that last years. Creating an event using food and décor elements that embodies my clients visions is a very satisfying experience to me.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Once I have made contact with a potential customer either by phone or email I obtain as much information as possible so that I can provide them with a complete estimate. There are times when I may create a menu for a client that is specific to just that client and other times where I can provide a menu with options that are available to choose from. Once they receive my estimate and we work out the details of that agreement I secure a deposit for their event. Depending on how far in advance of the event we are working I may require half or if we are doing something that is very last minute I may require the entire payment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I always try to stay abreast of trends as well as incorporate my own signature on all my events. I utilize day to day inspirations I come across, books, magazines, training opportunities, trade shows etc to seek new information and keep my finger on the pulse of what customers are interested in to create the perfect event for them.
Although I have no formal training in Culinary Arts I have owned my own catering business since 2001, worked in restaurants and worked with other catering operations and chefs over the years. I also participated as a vendor for several years at Urban Harvest Farmers Markets in Houston and surrounding areas.
